Netizens even took to social media to school him over the issue.

In a recent media interaction, the actor said that he feels proud that India has legalized same-sex marriages, and said, "We are really proud that we are supporting the community. Our country is very progressive that it legalised same-sex marriages."

After the massive backlash, Ayushmann put out an apology stating that it was a genuine slip. "A genuine slip here though I really wish same-sex marriages get legal in India (sic)” the actor wrote on Twitter.

I’m losing respect for this man as the days go by. Seriously dude stop imposing your filthy leftist ideologies on others!! It’s becoming unbearable now! Just because you supports the filthy and nasty LGBT community doesn’t mean everyone should agree.
